Unity Stamp Company | Christmas Card Series | 1

Hi there! Today I have a new Christmas card series I decided to begin as I make ALOT of cards I never seem to share.

Part of my crafty job is to make videos and cards for Unity Stamp Company, as I mentioned I am making about 30 cards a month. These are being shared on the Unity side of things, but I been bad about sharing them on my side.

My first Christmas card is this heat embossed, layered card made with several different Unity Stamps.

The red turned out a bit pink, but it really is Cherry Cobbler from Stamping Up.

Pretty Pink Posh | November Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog on this wonderful Pretty Pink Posh November Blog Hop! This is the last release of PPP for the year, and Paulina has done it again! If you are new to this hop, please hop back over to the Pretty Pink Posh Blog and start there. If not, thank you for continuing along this crafty journey. lol!

This release is my favorite ( I know I said that every time! However, the dies are AWESOME!!) I love how Pretty Pink Posh is adding another look to their product line. So, without further ado, this is my project for the hop.

I am keeping it simple with this non-stamping card. 

To make this, I watercolored Gold Gansai Tambi onto the card base, then layered gold paper to create a ribbon. The top white cardstock is splattered with gold watercolor. Once that was dried, I die cut the Festive Holly from Stampin Up Cherry Cobbler & Pear Pizzaz cardstock, and adhered those with foam. 

The Merry Christmas Script was then die cut from gold glitter paper. To finish off, I added Metallic Gold Confetti.

Now, that you have added these dies to your cart lets move on to the important stuff... Paulina is giving away 4 $25 gift certificates to the Pretty Pink Posh store. All you have to do is comment by 11:59 PM PST on 11/7/2017. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Your next stop is the brilliant Keeway Tsao!

Winnie & Walter | Grammie's birthday

Hi there! Wanting to stop by for a quick post about this card made for MIL (Mother In Love) birthday. I made it way ahead of time as my hubby was going to fly in for her surprise birthday party. Then we decided that the whole family needed to go. So all 6 of us hopped on the airplane and flew to Denver. We showed up at 1:00 am on her doorstep! It was a very fun surprise and it was nice that I had this card done ahead of time since I don't think I would have had time while packing for the crew.

Every product on this card with the exception of the cardstock & ink are Winnie & Walter Products. Of course, I had to add some lovely embelies from Pretty Pink Posh.

It was a stunning card and I felt proud to present it to her.

xoxo,

Crystal

Unity Stamp Company| Graciellie Designs Blog Hop

Hi there! Thanks so much for hopping with us today! I loved this release so much I made over 12 different cards with this release. I am a bit of a floral gal, so this was right up my alley. I decided to only share 3 projects with you today. You will find a brief summary of how I made each card on the caption.

I started by stamping the sentiment centered directly on the card base. Next, I stamped the flowers in gray and colored these with alcohol markers. I finished up by adding sequins. The stamp set is Simple Wisdom- https://www.unitystampco.com/shop/simple-wisdom/

On watercolor paper, I used Archival black ink and stamped my flowers.  Then with a light blue watercolor the background. Next, the flowers and leaves were colored. The sentiment is heat embossed in white onto the black cardstock and placed on card panel with foam adhesive. Sending Kindness- https://www.unitystampco.com/shop/sending-kindness/ 

Last but not least, this gorgeous simple card is matted on black cardstock. The flowers are stamped on separate (but matching) white cardstock and cut very close to the stamped line. Adhered these to the card base. Then heat embossed in white the sentiment and placed that over the florals with foam adhesive. Finished up by adding black enamel accents.
